Nestled in among the rolling hills of central Iowa is Maytag Dairy, which produces Maytag Blue cheese. Shortly before World War II, F.L. Maytag II began working with scientists at Iowa State University to begin making a great American blue cheese, modeled after those of Europe. The result was one of the first American farmstead cheeses of superior quality. Today, Maytag cheese makers are still hand-making the same exceptional cheese that they created in the 1930's. Maytag Blue's popularity has taken off with the growing interest in American farmstead cheeses, and this wonderful, tangy blue cheese is now featured on menus across the country. Its wonderful flavor, moist yet crumbly texture, and lemony finish make Maytag one of the world's great blue cheeses.

I purchased this for a gift to someone whom knows what good blue cheese is. He told me it's the best he's ever tasted and is making every crumble count. I will be re-ordering this in larger sizes next time.

Maytag

A Food Network TV program this morning promoted Maytag Blue and I'll promote it too. The best Blue in the world made right here in Iowa. I have given Maytag Blue for Christmas gifts since I worked in Newton. Now, mail order now is so convenient.

One of the most dramatic tasting of the blues, the tangy flavor and crumbly texture are perfect for crackers, salads, just about anything you can think of. Oh, and on top of a just-grilled hamburger? To die for, as they say!
